SANDOWN-LAKESIDE   10 Dec 2025
 
GOING: G

Sportsbet Race Replays Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Strong pace from Grouse Mountain and Bedtime Angel matching motors with Betwitchery close at hand. Very competitive race. GROUSE MOUNTAIN (1) has the benefit of a first up run and that could prove the difference. She was nosed out by the barest of margins over 1000m fresh but ran very well and is better suited going to 1200m here. She's got good speed, can take the lead and look to put a gap on her rivals down the dip. BETWITCHERY (3) resumes. Her form last campaign in some decent 3yo races reads well. This looks a nice race for her to kick off in. MARBLE POINT (13) hit the line strongly first up at Pakenham over this trip when left with too much to do. Her issue is the barrier draw and where she gets to again but she's got the ability. CHEWING GUM (11) keeps finding one or two better but is racing very well and will take beating with even luck from the inside gate. ESCARPA (7) tested a very smart horse in Tennessee Bound last time and that form should hold up nicely. SUGGESTED PLAY: Grouse Mountain on top.
